Why do you think that Dr. Jekyll wants to be Mr. Hyde?

Dr. Jekyll wants to be Mr. Hyde because Mr. Hyde is not a good person. Like most people, he wants to be good, but now and then, even the good people want to do something they know isn’t right. It is the same with Dr. Jekyll. He is a good person but he wants to do wrong also.

Dr. Jekyll wants to do bad things without getting caught, so he turns into Mr. Hyde when he is tempted to do wrong. Dr. Jekyll is using potions to become Mr. Hyde and it’s working very well for him because everyone believes that Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde are two different people. Everybody says that Dr. Jekyll is such a nice guy, which that would be true because when Dr. Jekyll is himself and not Mr. Hyde he is a nice person. I am sure Dr. Jekyll wants to do bad things sometimes, while still trying to be a good person, but he knows that he’ll get caught if he just stays as Mr. Hyde. 

In this book, and in Lord of the Rings, there is one thing that stood out to me as similar. Dr. Jekyll turns into Mr. Hyde because he is tempted to do crime. It’s sort of like Mr. Hyde is taking over Dr. Jekyll, the more and more Dr. Jekyll uses the potions to turn into Mr. Hyde the more tempted Dr. Jekyll is to keep turning himself into Hyde. This book is similar to a part of Lord of the Rings, Bilbo and the ring are similar to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The more and more Bilbo puts the ring on the more and more it takes him over, and the more he wants to be angry or mean.
